im sure i've heard it before, but i keep thinking abt what my therapist said to me; "Comparison is the theft of joy". I compare myself to a lot of different individuals, especially those who are not struggling the way I am mentally. I can't learn to love and enjoy things if i keep comparing myself

it's hard. it's difficult to separate myself from that- the need to compare to others bc i've had a lot of difficulties and mental impairments and trauma. im not saying these things to appear *special* and *unique*- its a lot of mental issues i've been seeing someone about to help get better.
